Emanuel, captain Jo and Filipe were excellent, fun, safe, and respectful guides offering much knowledge and consideration on a FUN filled excursion! The people in Costa Rica are beautifully kind and this group of young men exemplified that characteristic! The food was delicious and safety was a top priority. Thank you for a great time!!

We had a great time with Marcos and Isabella who are the owners. They were very courteous, pleasant, and professional. They shared with us the history of all the islands and about the marine life in the area. They provided us with a delicious meal with drinks and snacks. It was all fun and smiles.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR TOUR! Our guide and chef were excellent, but the tour itself was a huge disappointment. I originally booked for Friday, but the operator canceled less than 12 hours beforehand via text due to low numbers. No alternative arrangements were offered, and I was lucky to even see the message as my phone was in airplane mode. I had to rearrange my trip and practically beg to be accommodated on Saturday instead. Even then, the replacement tour only went to Isla Tortuga — none of the other advertised stops (Tarcoles Bridge, Puntarenas Lighthouse, Islas Negritos, Gulf of Nicoya) were included. I paid for a full multi-stop adventure and got only a single destination. Beautiful island, but not what was sold. I asked only for a partial refund, yet the tour company has ghosted me. Viator was no help either — they showed no empathy and simply sided with the operator, which makes me question how carefully they vet their partners. Next time, I’d rather book directly with local operators.

Trip was amazing Veronica our host was very easy going n went above n beyond to make experience memorable! We seen spider monkeys(feed them fruits), whales, dolphins, turtles, peacocks, n wild boar snatching ppl unattended food on the beach. It's an all day trip so make sure you're well rested, wear comfy clothing, hats, n lotttt of sunscreen. BYOB n snack although decent lunch is serve complimentary. small intimate group trip my family of 4 were paired with family of 8 and another group of 4 and that basically max capacity for that boat. Although small boat you get a wonderful experience. Thanks again for the wonderful memories pura vida🇨🇷🍻

This tour was great. The operator provided everything mentioned in the description and took us to great spots to see whales, dolphins, and spider monkeys. The guide, Veronica, was so nice and professional. I booked this tour because one of my kids wanted to do it, but I wasn't wild about being gone all day. But I'm glad we did this. The day actually went quickly with the beautiful boat ride, sights, and time at the beach. Also, we were picked up on time, and the driver was waiting upon our return. Regarding the island, bring water shoes because there are a LOT of sharp shells in the water. The island is a tourist trap, because you have to pay $1 for the bathroom and $10 to rent a chair unless those are included in your tour cost. But anyone who doesn't expect tourist traps in areas heavy with tourists is naive. I avoided either fee by going to the bathroom before we left port and sitting at the picnic table under the pavilion assigned to our tour operator. I think each tour operator gets an assigned area. The food was delicious. Costa Rica has the most tender and moist chicken I've ever had. So, take this tour with this operator, and you won't be disappointed.

I traveled with a party of 12. We had a wonderful time on this excursion. Communication was wonderful, and Veronica, the tour guide, and Joh, the captain, were great. We saw dolphins, spider monkeys, wild pigs, crocodiles, and a sea turtle. The beach was beautiful and the food was delicious. We had a good time on the boat ride listening to the music. My only complaint would be that the snorkeling was very crowded, but I understand that the company can not control that. We are a family of avid swimmers, and being stuck around so many people who could not swim was frustrating, so Veronica gave us the option to head to the beach sooner than we planned. That worked out well for us. I would recommend this tour.

We paid the $10 per person transport fee and it was well worth it. They picked us up right on time at our hotel and got us to the marina. We were paired with another group of about six, which was totally fine because there was plenty of room on the boat. The crew did a great job of showing us wildlife like a crocodile, monkeys, dolphins, sea turtles and a ton of fish on our snorkeling adventure. Water and fresh fruit were provided and much appreciated. Once we got to the island we paid the $20 to rent 2 beach chairs and started enjoying the beach. Lunch was served about 45 min later and was very tasty. The teenagers enjoyed a ride in the banana boat for $10. We all enjoyed the water. Boat ride back was smooth except for the monsoon type rain that started about 10 min before we got to the dock. That was no one’s fault though. We had a wonderful time and would 100% recommend.
